The cost for Microsoft MetaDirectory can be quite high, with MMS 2.2 the cost was 0$ but you had to employ Microsoft Consulting Services or a MetaDirectory Partner to do the deployment, with MMS 3.0 you will be able to get the software without MCS or a MMS Partner but MMS 3.0 will require a substantial investment.

I think this should solve your problems. It allows two completely separate AD Forests to co-exist and replicate between each other. Note that I have deliberately not said migration as this isn't possible at the present time unless anyone knows different. Whilst I am no advocate of Novell E-Directory\NDS the abilty to merge trees has been around for eons so I suspect it may appear in AD sooner or later. The MS web site is http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;MMS I'm afraid I have no idea of cost a I have never had cause to use it. I supect this is a product that we will get to see more and more of as more and more users adopt AD. Hope that helps.
